So I named my daughter "io"

everyone calls her by the name and then we register her on our local gov't to get birth certificate.

AND THEN THESE FUCKED FACED FUCKERS! dont accept my daughter's name because of this STUPID SYSTEM OF THEIRS!

because "io" is too short for first name field to accept. Its like the devs become the law and just set their own limit.

It pisses me off. our law didn't say `len(firstName) > 2` and we can't use paper anymore as alternative.

I really want to punch the fucker in neck. sorry

when your boss has no technical background so animations WOW him

Started learning Go

It's very interesting language

We've been there before

If only Goland was finished two years earlier...

Fucking HR cunts. I found a nice computer vision vacancy and decided to apply, look what these motherfuckers require :

- Java
- Typescript
- C++
- Javascript
- Amazon Web Services
- OpenCV
- Kubernates
- Spring Boot
- Azure
- Jenkins
- Postgres
- MongoDB
- ELK
- Web Sockets

FUCK OFF FUCK OFF FUCKING FuCK OFF you monkeys. Shove your vacancy up your ass.

Another vacancy, another instance, I'm going to apply at employers site, (they sell some sort of CRM crapshit) forms not working, bc not fucking connected to anything. Just a fucking HTML and JS popup notification for submission laying around with its legs wide spread. Like its copied from w3schools or something.
Looked more on the site it is fucked from all sides like it's made by a school kid.

So I fired an email to the HR, something like "I went to apply but your forms are not working, I found the issue, it's that. Also I found some glory holes in your site, hope your I.T. finds them too. Anyways here is my CV, have a nice day"

Day later I'm shortlisted.

I am trying to understand something for a while. devRant is full of privacy advocates and to be honest, part of it is almost taken by a group of people that call other people random swear words people because they are using a particular product of a company.

I will raise some points and will try to discuss them with other people in comments.

I will stick with Google. Since it looks like it's the most hated one. A company that has built one of the most intelligent infrastructure, the most popular mobile operating system and of course, the best search engine currently available.

The problem everyone sees is the privacy. Google tracks the search history to give users a better experience and show relevant ads. You might not need this "better experience". In case you don't know, you can turn off personalized search any time to make sure Google doesn't track. Same goes with Google Chrome, you can turn off all the data it is sending to servers in settings. You can simply not sign in if you don't anything to be synchronised.

An argument is Google should be opt-in rather than opt-out. But the general users are not tech-savvy. And yes, going to settings and turning on personalised search is a lot of work for a huge amount of people. Trust me, I worked in IT before. If they find other search engine giving them a good experience without changing anything in the settings, they will just simply move to that engine.

What interests me most if how people back DuckDuckGo. First of all, not all parts of DDG is not open source (it's fucking not, you can argue all day). Parts of it is closed because of licensing issues.

That is perfectly fine to privacy community. But it's not when Chrome is closed source for almost the same reason. I mean when you're using DDG, you are supporting a US-based company that has privacy all over its face and using closed source application on their server. Have you not learned anything from history?

You might be wondering about my obsession with Google. It hurts me when I see a giant company whose popular software is open source is bashed like this. Google has made huge contributions to open source communities. Chromium, Android, Kubernetes, Angular, GoLang, TensorFlow etc.

And PRISM, how do you know that DDG is not part of it? it's US-based after all.

I just saw an article that used a video with a title "TNW - Aral Balkan - Free Is A Lie | The Next Web" while asking us to switch to DDG. Ummm....DDG is also free right?

Maybe we should raise concerns with the US gov first rather than Google.

I put my phone down for TWO HOURS and this is what happens

So I was studying for a test using a quizlet my social studies teacher made, and I came across this gem. 99% sure my social studies teacher didn't read what it said/understand what it means.

So close

Google I/O: And now web add a new language to Android...
Me: Golang, golang, golang...
I/O: Kotlin!!!!!!!

3 things that i like i golang:
1. The logo
2.
3.

Can't concentrate when this guy constantly keeps a check on the page number (progress) I have reached while learning GO. 😂

So...I just learned about concurrency in Go, and gave it a try..

func sleep() {
// TODO
}

Need to think a different way to motivate GoLang team ;)

Code a band.

0. Get a raise
1. Nove out
2. Learn GoLang
3. Have a threesome
4. More weed
5. Build a blockchain project

Recruiter: What is Go?
Me: It's a newish programming language developed by some really cool guys at Google with C-like syntax and great concurrency support.
Recruiter: So it's like Google's version of RESTful?
Me: Umm…

Simple but tasty dish.

It’s just scrambled eggs, Indian style.

Oh btw did I say? This is the first dish that I learnt and my favourite goto if I get stuck with golang And graphql.

Guys.

Please do try this combination.

Anyone see one of there favs here 😬, need a devrant sticker now

golang is so beautiful.

standard crypto library, compiles natively, pointers, it's pretty cool.

👍

In my language "Go" (actually goh) means "Shit". Poor Go developers in my country 😆

working on two projects.
at the same time.

To me, it seems like the rise of distributed systems like mesos / kubernetes combined with Docker require you to be master sysadmin, veteran kernel hacker and a part time c developer ALL AT ONCE if you really want to shave off time from debugging/ performance tuning sessions. Anyone wish they paid more attention in class ? Lol.

My new year's resolutions:

- Learn Python
- Start and finish at least one project
- Learn C
- Understand C++
- Start working on a game

so another java!=javascript rant…

so an inexperienced friend of mine was having a conversation with me, and he was using the words java and javascript synonymously (meaning he thought they were the same thing).

so, i corrected him.
“you know javascript isn’t the same as java though.”

“oh, it’s not? ok then.”
and we went about our day.

three days later he was talking to me again, and we were talking about new web backends, and, as you might have guessed, golang came up.

he then said “i was talking with a noob to programming, and he thought go and golang were the same. i sure told him!”

🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

Got my first relatively large and actually useful go program working yesterday. It monitors a configurable set of servers and let's you know in slack when the status of any one changes. Also considering making a website for it or just letting it respond to GET requests. Small thing but I'm happy 😃

Seconds after creating my first scraper in Go

I wrote a small debugging assistant for golang with emacs lisp..... I have a tux mascot with Pi fitted in it. What I did whenever I got a error or warning from the linter, the assistant formatted those errors and the tux would shout out the errors by cursing me.
Like: "you b**ch, the package imported not used"
At first it was funny while testing ... Intentional errors. After I started cursing it back.... My mom looked at me like I was weird 😫

Mission Accomplished 😊, now it's time to sleep

I have a bit strange personal rule - If I encounter something more than three times during 3hrs period, I certainly must learn as much as possible about it. Last night I've stumbled upon few listings in Go language.

So, starting this morning, decided to learn Go. So far, so good.

P.S. Is it just me or Go really does have strong C/C++ vibe (but is, indeed, higher level language)? Old guy like me, must like that.

I spent 4 hours finding a good way to instanciate golang structures. Came up with a function that returned a value or pointer and I just kept reusing the nomenclature for an entire project. Then my buddy looks over and goes, "Ethan, you're a f****** idiot", and shows me the standard nomenclature. Now I have to refactor my entire project. FML.

(Edit: typo)

Deadline on friday?

Time to spend the whole day learning Go

Big brother is watching...

One of the coolest projects I've worked on recently was this little adventure game I made for a game jam a while back, It was made from scratch with Golang and C over two days. It also features procedural level generation (that technically should allow the user to walk in one direction for at least 7 decades).

Not learning Golang earlier.

So I use Docker, Gogs, Traefik and Portainer. Maybe it's time to start learning Golang.

C'mon, really?

Okay, I understand that they want to lock down the Chromebooks they send home with us, we don't own them and they have the right to do that. But I'm still annoyed when I find "harmless" stuff is blocked.

They said it themselves that they want us to be able to do basically anything we want web browsing wise on them.

It's not a fun experience to say to your self "hey let's look at the current humble bundles!" just to find that humblebundle.com is blocked for "games". (Which makes sense, but I can't remember any other examples)

Imagine thinking to yourself "I'm going to go to the Os Dev Wiki" and typing that into the Omnibox (tm) and pressing enter, directing you to your favorite search engine duckduckgo, but instead of finding the amazing duckduckgo results page you find the godforsaken securly "THIS PAGE IS BLOCKED" screen.

I can guess why they do that (probably because, to my knowledge, duckduckgo doesn't have any form of "safe-search" feature they can force it to use because they do that) but it's kind of annoying to not be able to use your favorite search engine anymore.

Should I really be getting so annoyed at this? No, because it's not my device, it's theirs and, they have the final say on what goes, but sometimes it really annoys me. I should be, and am, thankful they even let us bring the Chromebooks home, which is pretty cool.

Ugh...

If you want a fun time, just read the reviews on the Securly extension in the chrome web store!

Guess what language Pokémon Go was written in..

Why do people complain about python's syntax without semicolons but no one complains about golang?

Writing a new Text editor in golang for Linux using Gtk+ bindings. Anybody wanna help?.

Btw I'm not using any inbuilt widget or GtkSourceView. The editing component is built on Cairo 2D rendering.
And the screenshot contains the editor(so far) with the Readme of yet another new editor known as Xi Editor.

I've been working for a while now with a smaller minecraft network (hold up now, this is serious, don't walk away yet) for free. It was an amazing opportunity for me. I had the chance to work in a team on a common goal. They had equipment that I otherwise wouldn't have access to, and people who were serious about getting things done, unlike mostly all others. We had almost everything a normal business had- multiple departments, lots of people that sometimes worked through the night, proper version control on software, etc. While others were paid for their work, I chose not to be; I was doing this completely for experience. I want to be ahead for college and for a job as much as possible, so I've dumped most of my free time into this. I was a junior developer, head of security, DBA, and sysadmin. The biggest java and kotlin projects I have ever made, and the ones I was most proud of went to this network. I challenged myself in everything I did, and improved in programming tenfold since I started. I just recently spent three days on their server, setting it up properly, because someone thought managing a control panel was too much work and we need to switch to SSH. So I worked on this server alone for three days, every minute of my free time, setting it all up, and man, I thought it was a thing of beauty. It all made sense and was so simple to manage servers my grandma could do it. Made multiple improvements- iptables was configured, ssh keys were used instead of passwords, ACL was used to manage users' permissions for finer access control to the files, to name a few. I had planned on setting up fail2ban, MySQL and Postgres databases, a website, a couple Go programs to make creating servers even easier, backups to an external server with cron, the works. So after spending in excess of 45 hours on this project (learning tons along the way), I had about 13 servers up and running in an organized fashion, with startup scripts and permissions all done. This was the best setup yet. I went to sleep, got up in the morning, and found out that they had reinstalled everything again without saying anything, wiping out all my work, and had stayed up all night setting up a control panel to get 3 servers running, which they're still working on, and may get it done in a couple more days. So all my work was wasted. A part of me is fine with that I guess, sure it wasted a ton of time on my part but I still learned a lot. But the fact that they just deleted it all without warning and decided to change to another system entirely because it was too much work to learn the new way, after making me set everything up alone without help, having to deal with multiple people breathing down my neck and trying to get people to respond so I could get my work done, annoys the hell out of me. So I decided to take a break from them.

Now I'm looking for a new way to improve in everything I do. I want to get better at java, kotlin, golang, sql, everything related to system administration, database administration, back end, and maybe even a little frontend. I want to be the best developer I can be. The challenge of learning something new is actually fun. I just need a new project, or place to help. Unfortunately, most internships start after college, so that isn't an option, and being a janitor at a small business won't help me much unless I look over other peoples' shoulders when they're working. Open source projects would be interesting, but I don't know if I'd be able to ask anyone for help or opinions on anything. The perfect situation would be working for someone, and having a mentor that really knows their stuff to help me become better. Working on personal projects only gets me so far so fast; it's mostly a cycle of doing something a bunch of different ways because I don't learn about an alternative way to do it until I'm mostly done. Also, if I worked with people in an actual place, I'd get a feel for the environment and for how all the systems worked together. Finally, it'd show me how everything is done properly (hopefully) and how software development in the real world is. A real project, in a real team would be a Godsend for me. I'm not asking for one here, obviously, I just want to know- is this possible for me? I know people my age aren't often hired for this, but I really want to learn and improve. I don't have a degree, I'm self taught in everything. I've been using java for two years, kotlin for a half, golang for less. I know it's unlikely. Just.. how can I try to get this kind of situation, if possible? Thanks.

Constructors, generics, collections, package versioning, immutability, syntactic sugar, option types? Meh.

#golang

Hello !

I'm a fresh school dropout (against my will) without any diploma. I've learned programming from self teaching since three years; mostly doing web and apps development with golang, and c#.

I've already done some small projects, helped a lot of people with code, do some freelance and I'm now trying to build a SAAS.

I don't know what I'm supposed to do now, I'm completely lost for my future. What would you do if you were in this situation ?

Anyone here use Go? Just wondering...

Starting "Go"

package main
import "fmt"
func main() {
fmt.Println("Hello Go World")
}

GraphQL wrapper on golang wrapper of devRant

Ok, after actually starting to use golang for a project instead of just messing with tutorial. It isn't as fun to program in as I thought. I'm finding, the further away the language is from C-style constructs the less I like it, which is why I will probably never learn Python or Ruby unless I had a job that specifically requires me to do so.

Fartin' around with Godeps and having difficulties, but things aren't nearly as annoying when you are able to work from anywhere while drinking craft beer :^)

I'm curious how many people on DevRant use GoLang.

Why am I a horrible person for following standard linting and thus not using semicolon in my JavaScript code? I write Golang and Elixir which they don't have them and thus it is for me more natural to not have them in JS as well.

Go 1.8 is out. Excuse me while I freshen up a bit for my bae.

Really want to try building web apps with golang. Should i use some framework or not?

i was about to talk about golang - but it can wait.

snapchat's discover section is TERRIBLE. the amount of BULLSHIT, INCORRECT INFORMATION, AND PURE IDIOCY IS MAKING IT TERRIBLE.

now, usually, i rant about mashable when i say it's terrible. AT LEAST WHEN MASHABLE WROTE ABOUT THIS THEY WERE CORRECT. but no, alas, my faith in humanity is put to an all time end. a new evil has arose, by the name of "wired."

of course, and incredibly late to the party, a "tech" outlet wrote about bitcoin. the headline was "is bitcoin killing the planet?" IT HAS BEEN POSSIBLY THE STUPIDEST ARTICLE IVE READ OF ALL TIME. THEY CLEARLY HAVE NO IDEA ABOUT ANY SHIT THEYRE TALKING ABOUT.

let's take a look at the TWO facts they got wrong, and displayed to over a MILLION people.

now, instead of just GOOGLING TWO SIMPLE FACTS, THEY DECIDED TO JUST WRITE RANDOM SHIT.

ENOUGH WAITING - HERE THE THE TWO FACTS THEY GOT WRONG

picture 1: bitcoin up $900 in the last year? THE LAST MOTHER FUCKING, COCK SUCKING

.
.
.

YEAR?!?

WHY DO SUCH DUMBASSES HAVE ACCESS TO SOMETHING MILLIONS VIEW?

IT MAKES NO FUCKING SENSE

picture two: the actual fuck????

did i just read that?

b- bi- bitcoin will "run dry" BY 2032.

i think i finally figured it out.

these facts, they're literally just random number.

<thoughtBubble>
i can see it now:

wired employee 1: hey, guess what number im thinking of?

wired employee 2: 14?

wired employee 1: *screaming* BITCOIN WILL RUN DRY IN 14 YEARS

</thoughtBubble>

how do these people get hired. do they hire only hire 12 year old interns? im genuinely asking. does anyone know?

okay, end of rant. plz continue complaining about dumbasses who have power thru the media in tech

There is this friend of mine, total business profile, working in banking audit for MNEs. The guy is in trouble with his PowerPoint, asking me if I can assist because "as you working in IT". I'm a Golang distributed system engineer for a major delivery company. Be sure I will call you next time I need to open a bank account.

Golang warrior medal..

If number of people using Pokemon Go tries to learn programming go the world would be much better place to code.

Forcing to use OOP on golang is like use basketball shoes on the right foot and ballerina shoes on the left foot
Ugly

So.. There are about 4 jobs in my country that even mention golang, and only as an "advantage"

😟 Wow.. learning Go really isn't helping..

Why isn't it used widely as the main language of a dev team?? Too young? Or are there serious issues, that most companies prefer using c#/ruby/python for web dev backend?

If only NodeJS was as fast as GoLang 🤔

package main

import (
"log"
"strings"
)

type Present struct {
from string
to string
}

type Santa struct {
presents []Present
}

type Person struct {
Name string
Nice bool
Presents []Present
}

func (santa *Santa) givePresents(person Person) []Present {
result := []Present{}

if person.Nice != true {
return result
}

for _, present := range santa.presents {
if strings.Compare(present.to, person.Name) == 0 {
result = append(result, present)
}
}

return result
}

func main() {
santa := Santa{
[]Present{
{"devRant", "Alex"},
{"Johanna", "Alex"},
{"Alex", "devRant"},
{"Alex", "Johanna"},
},
}

persons := []Person{
{"Alex", true, []Present{}},
{"Johanna", true, []Present{}},
{"devRant", false, []Present{}},
}

for idx, person := range persons {
persons[idx].Presents = santa.givePresents(person)
}

log.Println(persons)
}

Fuck NodeJS. I don't want you to be asynchronous sometimes. My gahwd I need like 3 deep nested loops just to get you to make a request and compile a damn JSON of requests.

I'm learning Golang goodbye forever node.

I have the following shell aliases set:

conf='vim ~/.bash_profile'
go='. ~/.bash_profile'

This reason alone is why I've hesitated to learn golang.

I was getting bored with programing cause a majority of it is boilerplate code then i heard of the Mirai virus. It infected alot of iot devices so I decided to look at it and it was written in golang. It is a beautifully written botnet even though they're parts where it could have been better. So i looked more into golang and saw that it could cross compile pretty easily and could build self contained binaries really easily. On top of all this i saw the smallest docker containers with golang programs so i looked into it more and kept finding more and more that i liked. Easy library packaging, concurancy without boilerplate, quick servers, and the libraries from other devs that did all kind of great things

I downloaded Go to my Raspberry Pi with the wireless connection of my school and the download was running for 30 minutes (99mb file). (I had a download speed of 55 Kbit/s.) Then I saw I downloaded the wrong one which isn’t working with Raspbian. 😒

Should I master Go or Python? Which is a good investment.

How do gophers (Go devs) feel about the new Go logo ?

I can get used to it but it feels more like a logo of a company that might rival Uber.
The gopher gave it an easy to use and understand feel, this new one gives a fast and sleek look. It wants to showcase "Fast" more than anything else.

Age 8 - Gets first computer and struggles with dial up Internet and my parents yelling at that they ended to use the phone

Ages 12 to 18 - Gets first laptop, starts messing around and interested in websites, gets involved with SMF, and open source message board system written in Php, and starts helping people out, eventually getting paid work for setting up websites etc.. which lead onto learning html/CSS and picking up bits and pieces of Php (and also Photoshop/Illustrator etc..)

Age 18 - Goes to college to study Multimedia, refreshes knowledge of HTML/CSS, learns a bit of Actionscript and some PHP

Age 20 - finishes Multimedia degree, ends up working as an IT consultant for a small business, which leads me to pick up a bit of bash scripting, small hit more PHP. Leaves this after 3months and decides to do a small Software Dev course. Get my first taste of Java and Visual Basic there

21 - Enter into a Software Dev degree. Dive deep into Java and a small bit of Javascript.

23 - After 2nd year of college get taken on an internship with a large multinational where I learn and get hands on experience with Angular, JS, Coffeescript and C#

Present Day - currently coming up to the end of my degree and can switch between Java, C#, Python, Coffeescript/Javascript (front-end or Node) , C and Golang, C and Python introductions from college modules which I kept playing with in my spare time, Golang I just heard of and decided to write a few things in it because why not, I've picked up various frameworks (spring, echo, express etc.) at some point. I basically learn by doing, if something interests me and I enjoy it, I seem to pick it up quickly by diving in and trying to use it.

Best:
- Had fun projects to work as a freelancer
- Got a position in the big data research group at my uni (helped with a paper)
- Got a job proposal as devops abroad
- Learned AWS, docker, and golang

Worst:
- Some people still owe me money of the projects I worked
- Could not get the job as devops since my visa permit was denied (twice)
- The startup I was working got broke so they did not pay me
- Could not finish my personal projects

In balance it was not a good year

I've been a dedicated Golang programmer for a few years now.
But lately I learned rust, and now even the thought of garbage collection makes me davastated :(

So i've been working with OOP and now that i have some free time i decided to learn Golang.... Great language but at the beginning was really hard to go back to the non OOP.

Was reading an ebook about Golang in the garden. Having read the first chapter I looked up. And only then noticed this view... What is the philosophical lesson?

!rant
Just got my first book on Go, and coming from java, it's hard. Pg 20 and my head is already exploding

Why can't GO just have arrays. Why do I have to learn new things like slices :(

Go, because go routines and channels.

Feeling the pressure of writing back-end code for a golang microservice, after a year of fulltime front-end developement. Each commit feels like you're close to cause a bomb to detonate.

Gosh Golang is so damn sexy, I think I love it.

Its an exciting day to continue my Web dev w/ Golang on udemy by Todd McLeod after my two days break.

What should I learn? Go or Rust? I tried out Rust already, I really like it

YOUR THOUGHTS ON GOLANG?

Ran a web app sample with golang just now.
.
.
.
.
Feel like I'm at the top o' the world!

1. Write a Go Application
2. Rant encountered problems on building the application

Tonight's checklist:
1. Study a chapter in ISLR
2. Try to understand source code of an open source project in GoLang.
3. Complete programming challenges on HackerRank

What I am going to end up doing:
1. Watching videos of The Rock trolling others.
2. Watch Family Guy

Who here codes in golang and thinks it's a good server side language.

I really am not a fan of the contortions you have to go through in Golang to deserialize a fucking JSON blob. If this were any other language I would have already had a data structure I could query rather than wasting hours twiddling structs that will be filled properly.

im 15 and i use gin 😎

#golangframeworks

anyone, who love golang in here?

Output preview of go-callvis tool for callgraph visualizaton of your Go program.

Past month I had been working on a JSON hierarchy construction from flat rows returned by query where some bugfuck had introduced pagination for some damn reason, I never gave a flying duck to this till I get a email from one of the clients who supposedly made a complete hierarchy and my endpoint wasn't returning some hierarchy after some levels.

Frustrated that my service layer there is a bug, I debug to realise only certain rows are getting sent back from the query and ebullient from this fact , I put the bug on the DB person and walk off for a smoke.

After a smooth drag , I realise while closing the email on my phone that this client had entered 10 on pagesize which would indeed just return 10 rows. *Facepalm* I didn't even need to debug all this and now I had to a face a db person I just plastered a bug on. BAHHUMBUG

I'm getting started with Go (so cool so far!) and I'm trying to interact with Tumblr API using their Go Client...

Every time I google something about it I got the growing feeling that I am the first person who uses that client LOOOL

Go fmt yourself? I guess. Taken from Golang's documentation on encoding/json.

Why must the scrollbar look like its having a seizure whenever I scroll faster than a brisk scroll? Why does it even have to change length at all? Why can't it just be the same length all the time? It happens a bit in the devRant app, but it's even worse in other apps (like the reddit app).

Slowly adapting Go to some microservices projects I have. Shit is intuitive as fuck and I believe it has to do with what lil knowledge I had of working with C back in uni and by myself. For the web Go fits quite nicely. Really loving my time working with this language.

Now, if i could somehow throw it into the mix at work and build something with it it would be quite fun.

My ideal dev job, would be a job I can show compassion towards. A team I can be proud of and learn from. And a vibrant workspace with likeminded individuals who just want to improve themselves even if they feel their at their pinnacle.

My current office tries to make use of new technologies, we've embedded docker, vagrant, a few ci systems on an in need basis per team, and a lot of other tools.

My only real qualms are they feel indifferent towards new languages and eco systems ( Node.js, GoLang, etc ). Our web team is still using angular.js 1.x, bower, refuses to look into webpack or a new framework for our front end which is currently being bogged down by angulars dirty checking.

Our automated quality assurance team is forced to use Python for end to end testing, I've written an extensive package to make their lives easier including an entire JavaScript interface for dispatching events and properly interacting with custom DOMs outside of the scope of the official selenium bindings.

Our RESTful services are all using flask and Python, which become increasingly slow with our increase in services. I've pushed for the use of Node or GoLang with a GraphQL interface but I'm shot down consistently by our principle engineers who believe everything and anything must be written in Python.

I could go on, but tldr; I'm 21 and I have a ton of aspirations for web development. I'd like to believe I'm well rounded for my age, especially without any formal education. I'd love to be surrounded by individuals who want the same, to learn and architect the greatest platforms and services possible.

Anyone use Golang here for system programming? I recently learned go and it would be very helpful if someone would describe me the pitfalls in go while writing fast softwares. I am planning to write a music player for Linux in go.

Rust with rocket framework or Golang ? What would you prefer ?

So, i've been dealing for 1 hour with an error in golang, almost threw away my laptop, i even restarted it. The problem was a missing "c" when i declared a func -.-

Hello, everybody! Recently, I've decided to switch from Android development to web-development, mainly JavaScript. Ok, it is clear what to do and what to learn in frontend part. But what about backend? I have a some kind of a dream to learn Go. It is clear language it is a great pleasure to write on it, and I've started to learn it. In parallel I'm trying to study JS + Angular... Well, now I have some douts: is it effective to learn two different languages, which are quite new to me? Maybe, I should learn Node.js instead of Go? Right now it is clear, that this technology (node) is much more demanded. What path should I choose? To follow heart and learn Go? To follow mainstream trend and learn Node.js?

WTF, Rust. You are so fucking hard to write, and TBH, your docs are not understandable. Please writte your docs to be understandable, and make it fun to read, like golang does.

WTF, Rust. I am now looking, for 5 hours straight, for a solution for reading stdin into a variable. Nothing. 6 fucking solutions for 6 different rust versions of which not one works. Nothing is readable. Explain the philosophy of you language! What the hell is this?! Is your language based on the C family? On which is it based?! fucking idiots

So I'm getting brought into a team for our backend services of our administration application, and they're explicitly using Flask (Python library) for their exposed API in their application and data tiers.

As I'm familiarizing myself with their code, utilities, and dependencies, I notice they're stacking 7-8 decorators on their routes from their in-house utility module.. After further investigation, I realized half of them were entirely unnecessary, and they were proofing payload responses three times for the same JSON format.

The fact that we're using Python instead of Node or GoLang for our REST services is pain enough, but these god damn in house utilities are killing me.

Should I learn golang or kotlin?

At this point all I know is they're 2 up and coming languages... Maybe

Learning golang to replace Java in my arsenal, I just wish they had a nice framework for creating guis similar to JavaFX

I know bindings exist to things like qt and GTK but why cant they have a nice native ui library.

That's gonna be a quick rant about Golang.

Anyone else here frustrated by the fact that you can inline assignment in the if statement, but can't inline the if-else itself?

You can do:
if thing := hey.getThatThing(); thing == theThing {
return 'this'
} else {
return 'that'
}

But can't do:
return 'this' if hey.getTheThing() == theThing else 'that'

Or is it just me using too much Python everyday and connecting that with Go in free time?

Caddy (modified) + Golang (master) + Chrome = X25519 ❤

3 hours debugging for one colon. Welcome to the shadow bugs in Go. This was one of the most satisfying fixes. And a great introduction about shadowbugs.

Any devs out there worked building Golang microservices for a production environment?

I don’t have a specific question really. Just wondering who is out there on a similar path!

I’m building using Golang, Google Cloud, Docker, Kunernetes, and Terraform currently on a personal product bound for production!

Cross platform SSH Server, implemented as a Caddy plugin

I HATE GIT

Trying to get Golang to play nice with my arduinos is driving me through the fucking wall. I love this language but it's not the first one I should have learned.

Go is quite an awesome language if I ignore the actual code to "if err != nil" ratio.

I'm thankful to Docker's founders for not naming it "DockerGo"

I really want to learn Go, but I'm not sure where to start! devRanters who are also Gophers, what tools/resources do you recommend for a beginner?

Why it is such a pain to scan nullable types on Golang database.sql

Now I have to chose between:

1- Using temporaty variable to hold the nullable value just to soon after check and set the zero value if it is null

2- Adding coalesce to my sql query for the zero values.

Did I mention that there are around 20 collumns that are nullable...

I'm cross-compiling software I create for many years. Ignoring languages targeting some kind of VM, some additional efforts were always needed.

Go (as far as I can see, since 1.5) is doing this right and quite straightforward - select target and architecture, issue build command and you get native executable file. I'm happy ... B)

What is golang used for in a professional setting? It's a really cool language and I like it, but is it useful for me is what I want to know. Thanks

Golang, I love you to death.

But I will have you know that unsuccessfully scouring the web for why my json config file wasn't being read into the struct followed by almost two hours of messing around with every little thing... And I discover that the fucking problem was my struct member names needed their first letters to be uppercase. Ridiculous.

Gotta love spending forever overthinking. The solution is often too simple!

Isn’t the usage of environment variables common for golang apps?

I interviewed for a company which made me develop a golang backend service and I used environment variables for sql connection strings and client and secret IDs and all.

When I submitted them the project, the feedback was that the tech person isn’t familiar with dotenv configuration.

Any inputs about any other way this could’ve gone?

when the management team wants a new application with an insane deadline and for you to train someone on how to code.

So i have been playing around with Golang for about a week now and like it in some regards but it feels almost too primative to me like it's holding my hand.

Does anyone else feel the same?

Started out on some Go code today. It's looking really promising so far - the lack of implicit stuff is really refreshing. Less is more.

! question
worth learning Go in 2018 for a full stack web developer?

I am a chinese dev with 5-6 years experience, working on c/cpp/golang for backend server and PHP for web.

But I still feel hard to learn JAVA and JAVA web framework. You know it just has too many bultshit too learn, which is meanless to me.

Do you no-chinese guys also think so?

Golang tutorials trying to explain the difference between concurrency vs parallelism be like "Oranges are different from oranges. Oranges are juicy while oranges are juicy. They are not to be confused, u newb"

Golang has to add generics in version 2.

About to start writing a report for my programming languages course, I’m writing it over GoLang, If anybody has any good resources for any information on Go, let me know!

The report extends into the history, paradigms, features, memory management system, and anything else I can possibly find on this language. I can find some pretty decent references on the footer of Wikipedia, but I wanted to see if anybody who actually used Go had anything they’d like to share.

Thanks :)

Why the hell is there no embedded SQL database for golang?! Only Sqlite, and this is wrapped C.

I hope i could master golang overnight

Serious question. Should i learn go or rust?

Hey, does somebody know a working python or golang package for Bixolon SRP-350II? I want to do my own pos just for fun and I have this printer on hand. Any help will be appriciated. Also it will be better if it worked from linux. And I’m open to any other language sdk when it works.

The makefile:
'
GOPATH=$(pwd)

clean:
@echo "cleaning :)"
@rm -rf $(GPATH)/bin

the "oh crap":

I've spent the past 6 months exploring and implementing small and big projects in nodejs, python, golang, swift. Swift btw being a pain in the ass. I really wanted to continue with golang since it's a cool language but all jobs/startups that I think is interesting use c# .net so I want to jump into that.

Does anyone have any book tips that can be finished this summer for programmers that are not beginners?

I have a take-home interview exam involving Golang and reactjs due next Monday. Both techs I have no idea yet.

Here I am in bed. Using devrant.

Yo been a longtime.

So I basically quit my last job to have successfully reached the top company in my country only to find they are such a mess.

No code quality whatsoever, testing? Yiu crazy? And all the old people who think they are senior whilst they do not know jack..

I do distribured web applications, but shit I hate titles and I think of myself as a software guy, I can do software that opens the fridge when I close the toilet lid ffs!

So, I am looking to deviate my career from web to something more deep such as distributed systems and services where I can use all of my skills and expand my knowledge more, and be able to code in js, c++ golang and more, handle and tackle infrastructure issues, virtualization etc...

So I want to ask you guys what would be an interesting project I can work on to concretize my skill and be able to convince my next recruiter that I walk the talk.

Thank you everyone

Started with qbasic when really young, by moding the tower game. Later got into a programming course where i picked php & Java, and lately got Python and golang from professor Google

Any golang users here?

Not start learning a new language I telling everyone I'm learning (like Golang)

*starts reviewing code that I wrote at some ridiculous hour*

var glPassiveDebugging bool = !true

and to think people say that I'm too serious, and never do anything silly...

Am I the only one here who thinks Go code is tedious and difficult to maintain? The language is easy to learn but to maintain it? #wtf

Want to start learning a new language (non-webdev), but can't decide between Rust, Elixir and Golang.
Any thoughts or comments?

what is a Go Engineer? I hope it means a golang engineer? I can't find a job description for it. cause I love Go and I want this as a job.....Hopefully

So when writing golang code, you can put alias into the imported library
And one of interns in my office include include our company's library called "helper/session", and alias it with 'hSession'
Now all the code which use that library has to look like "hSession.ErrUnexpected", "hSession.NewSession"

Well, i think i've played too much VN and anime, but still i'm having a good laugh when doing the code review

where did all Ruby developers go ?

wait what...

My current stress ball, should I be worried ??

Looks like I'mma need those 500 +1s to get my new stress ball, promise I'll treat it differently this time 😂😂

tl;dr:
What is a good start in go?

My wife wants to upgrade her coding skills from „I heard it at college“ to „I actually did something with it“.
I want to learn Go and start coding a bit more. My background is mostly C++ (Backend) and a bit Java (Fronted) some years ago before I went more into testing. For test automation I always use the language that makes the project happy, often Java.

We want want to join forces now, take a vacation and implement a small microservice in Go for my wife’s product (she is a PO) using pair programming.

I want to prepare that a bit. What is a good course or web tutorial to start, that some of you took and can recommend?

Thank you very much!!

Why do you even compare node.js and golang?

Anyone work with golang for Web development purposes? I am an intern and need to work with golang which I have no idea... Any help to get me started?? Thanks!

Do you guys think Golang is gonna over take NodeJS for server side web dev?

Getting started with Golang, any project ideas? I need inspiration 😪

I should check out the latest videos at egghead.io, I should convert to Angular 2, I should start using es2016, I should learn c, I should continue on the cryptopals challenges, I should fully understand floats, I should learn how java works under the hood, I should learn the details of how the drammer exploit were done, I should make a dinner planner, I should continue the Golang tutorial, I should check out the game of my colleague's game attempt, I should engage in an open source project...

Playing cs:go with a nagging bad conscience... Again!

This a hybrid rant/question - I'm just getting into golang/go and loving bits of it but feeling that I am needing to import a new cunting package to get basic stuff done that every other language has out of the box (that is the rant) - eg fmt package is needed to print. Is this the downside of go or am I missing something fundimental?

Golang: It's stupid that the language doesn't allow the variable 'result' to be used out of the if scope, although it's been declared outside the if scope:
if result, err := foo(bar); err != nil {
// do something with err
}
// no err, so do something
// with result.
// But No! you can't.

Speaking of Go.

defer() is like blessing.

Every time I code in Python, especially asyncio code, I wish it has something similar.

When you try to learn a new language what is a good project to code that will get you to use mist of the languages features. Some specific languages would be C++ and Golang.

I'm trying to learn Go and Dart. I'm in that phase between hello world and "oh this is so easy," I call it the "wtf is this and why do all the tutorials suck" phase. (To be fair, the tutorials probably don't suck, I just need to find one that my brain can wrap itself around.) Also, trying to learn 2 at once is hella confusing.

Trying (having) to develop game by Golang. Pick Raylib as library to go. Got stuck by cgo with goroutine somehow.

Deadline is coming...

GoLang or Python?

How do I get into low-level programming?

I already know Java Js and Python and I feel I want to take my skills to the next level and learn C or Go.

But what to start with in that area after I learn the language? I have no idea what to do with low level stuff.

!rant

Anybody know any good podcasts for GOlang? Most everything I find seems to be from before 2015 or about it's web function.

Not my fav because I'm not proficient in anything and don't consider myself a programmer. But, I use many languages day to day as a sysadmin.

I come across Perl enough to know I don't like how their modules and dependencies work. I have the most difficulty when dealing with this. PHP, Python, Ruby, and GoLang never give me as much trouble as Perl.

Also, coming across more Python3 dependencies, dealing with older Python2 environments, as stated by many others as well, is becoming more and more painful.

Maybe all of this can be solved with some unifying virtualenv for all popular languages/environments, supported fully by the underlying OS.

Every time I google something about a specific integrationbetween two things and I can't find anything I always get two feelings at once:
- I'm the only person who tought about this, wow, i'm so unique
- I'm the only person who tought about this, maybe there is another way

why working with the Date package have to be a nightmare?

Hey guys! From a Ruby on Rails Restful API programer’s perspective which should I learn? Scala or Golang? Why do you like Scala/Golang? Do you use any frameworks? Why should I choose Scala over Goland or vice versa?
Many thanks! o/

Working with golang is the worst. There's no "it's compiling" excuse.

Just finished creating a new git repository for my modules (we're using microservices)
Guess what, i misconfigured the socketmaster and the apps port
So the socketmaster run on :9000 meanwhile my apps run on :8888
Spend a good 1 hour to find that problem

#deploymentIsCrazyThings

panic() from golang. I panicked a lot as go didn't have the "evil" try catch. But then panic came for my aid.

Sophomore year starting soon so I'm looking for new project (s) to complete in parallel with the studies.
Some are more design-y and some more backend-y but I recently started getting better at designing so :)

1) Learn some fragment shader stuff. I've always been messing around with graphics and have a game on steam, so I think that's a good idea to be paired with signal processing.

2) Reactive web services. Preferably with spring-boot or vert.x but

3) I would also like to dive into golang (and make some reactive thing with it)

4) WebAssembly seems nice... But I got some concerns

5) exercise making wireframes -> CSS (with some js)

6) I've never really done any real backed work with nodejs, except serving and aot compiling js, or doing gulp tasks

7) Implementing a whole project, or a fraction of it as serverless on aws

* I'm definitely going to use a couple very simple services to make a docker swarm with load balancing, etc, just because I know how everything works but got no practical knowledge

8) Design an esports jersey for the university department I'm in (shouldn't take long)

So what do you guys think? Recommendations are welcome :)

P.S. last year in review:
> A webapp running on a raspberry pi powering a reflex testing game on gpio (java/spring-boot , codename: buttonmasher)
> small Elastic search cluster to monitor some random university servers through kibana dashboards
> laser tracking on wall of *any* colour and variable light conditions via a webcam (opencv) , controlling the mouse pointer, whether you run it against a projector or any wall
> jstrain.herokuapp.com => a small JavaScript powered tool with a DSL to help you train more efficiently without a coach
> Various random Photoshop stuff

Was asked to look at another teams repo to see how they use Cassandra. In that repo, I found a function that creates a map[int]bool populated with a handful of numbers all with true as the value. The function then checks the existence of an int in that map and return a true if it exists.
